I'm European living in an European country with universal healthcare and I still can't afford or reach a doctor. First they make you call a nurse, that appointment will be in 5-12 weeks, then maybe if the nurse thinks you need the doctor you wait another 5-12 weeks to get to the doctor. And it costs. And also the possible exams or meds cost as well. Yes, less than in USA, but still too much..

Only way I have ever learned, in school, is by writing notes by hand into my own notebooks. Rewriting text book chapters, taking notes from teacher, writing answers down. It takes time, longer than taking notes on a laptop. But writing on laptop just doesn't "stick" the information into my head. Back in high school, I was the last student to still hand-in my essays etc in paper and my teachers were very happy to grade them, one told me it brought her good memories from the times there were less screens and teaching was easier. No wonder..

When I had laptop in glass, it was very easy to play games, watch Netflix or scroll Reddit. I had no self-control, I was not able to force myself to focus in learning. They started using laptops and tablets in glasses when we were 13 and most of us found ways to play games etc on them, bypassed the restrictions. And we shared the knowledge on that. Oh, also I dropped out eventually.

Excellent point.

Onnea matkaan sitten vaan!

Kinda same here. I might start crying from frustration and this causes many issues, mainly it makes people misunderstand the whole situation. And trying to explain anything after that is pretty much impossible, except with my fiancé.

Ymmärtääkseni aloitteet nollaantuu, jos on vaalit välissä. Ellei aloitteen tekijät ole sitten osanneet harvinaisesti ajoittaa tämän oikein? Ja toki silloinkin voidaan vaan todeta, että aloitteen asia ei sisälly hallitusohjelmaan > silppuriin.

Edited a correct link to an explanation thread here.

TLDR; An third-party front end for Lemmy has shadow banned many users, communities and instances without telling about it to it's own users, making those users unaware of majority of the content all across Lemmy.

It was probably One, but likely just a cheap and crappy skin from Wish or somewhere like that. User-error now that I think of it.

I have not seen a single comment or post that this would be unpopular take at all on this mess. Every place I look is people judging this, sharing the lists or making memes on whether they have been banned or not. Where are the users who agree with the hideyhole-shadowbanning? I'd like to see what their arguments are.

// I went looking and found a few comments, but all of those were downvoted into oblivion and/or misunderstood/oversimplified the situation. So I think OP is in the popular side with their opinion.

Oh, alright, thanks! And yes, very likely my friend blocked the vents or that the skin was just very badly designed.

 

Hello! This is probably stupid.

So I have recently gotten rid off my streaming services to save money and I have been into transferring my new and old CDs into MP3 form (320 kbps) and listening to those either on my Sony Walkman (NWZ-B162F or something) or on my PC with the Windows Legacy Media Player/VLC and now the music sounds so, so different than the same songs sounded from Spotify or YouTube Music. (Official apps on Android, iOS and PC or the web version on PC while having the "HD Settings" on.) Headphones and the soundbar is the same as before, no changes there.

Like the MP3 form, that should be much more poorer quality and inferior in all the ways, but it sounds "deeper"? The streaming services have sounded so.. flat? Sorry, English isn't my native language but yeah, flat or shallow? Empty even? Hollow?

Is this because of I now "own" the music and possibly respect it more and that makes it sound better? Am I turning into an audiophile, which I have never had any interest in before? Or is there something real in this? Not complaining really, just been pondering this a while and my fiancé agrees on this as he's been doing the same on his old iPod..

Thanks in advance or anyways. :)

 

Hello fellow autists and other folk! I'm asking you to share your tips on how to deal with the summer, the Sun, the heat and light, bugs, all of this while trying to have good time? Or at least a decent time?

I happen to live above the polar circle so here the Sun doesn't set at all for almost few months so yeah, there is plenty of light unless it rains or is cloudy - luckily that's pretty often too. Anyways, what has helped me;

  • finding good, non-stinky sunscreen (Änglamark SPF50) and finding odorless mosquito repellant ("Free")
  • I need glasses and I have very light sensitive eyes so prescription sunglasses are the only thing that make it possible for me to do any gardening or reading outdoors etc
  • cool/cold showers (/or swimming) to wash off the SWEAT
  • wearing loose, cotton clothing and wearing a cotton scarf to cover my head and hair, this might make me look like a grandma/child but at least I'm comfy!
  • blackout curtains in bedroom to keep the light out, but also on other windows to keep the house cooler
  • freezer stocked with popsicles and fridge with alcohol-free beer because my autistic fiancé will stop drinking water once it gets too hot.. (JUST DRINK SOMETHING!)
 

Mitä mielipiteitä täällä on nuorisolle suunnatuista somekielloista?

Itse menin yläasteelle juuri niihin aikoihin, kun älylaitteet alkoivat yleistyä. Oli anonyymejä haukuntasovelluksia (Ask.fm), Instagramin seuraajamääriä ja tykkäyksiä kytättiin maanisesti, otettiin toisista noloja salakuvia ja läheteltiin kuvia sukuelimistä toisille ilman lupia ja luvan kanssa. Joskus joku kuvasi jopa kotibileissä paneskelut Snapchattiin, "ettei pääsisi unohtumaan."

Näistä syistä, olen itse vahvasti rajoitusten kannalla. Teini-ikä on muutenkin rankkaa aikaa ja vaikka kiellot eivät kaikkia ongelmia korjaa, ainakin yritetään edes jotain. En myöskään itse usko, että somealustat ikinä kehittäisivät omia rajoituksiaan..

Joo, aina voi jotenkin väärentää iän. Aina on vanhempia, joita ei kiinnosta. Ehkä siirrytään henkilökorttinettiin, tosin siinä kohtaa itse siirryn kokoaikaisesti koskettelemaan nurmea.
